SWAT Model
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a public domain model jointly developed by the USDA-ARS and AgriLife Research, part of The Texas A&M University System. SWAT is a small watershed to river basin-scale model to simulate the quality and quantity of surface and ground water and predict the environmental impact of land use, land management practices, and climate change. SWAT is widely used in assessing soil erosion prevention and control, non-point source pollution control and regional management in watersheds. For further details, read the SWAT official page.
